|friendship=70
}}
'''Nidoran♀''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドラン♀''' ''Nidoran♀'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


She [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Nidorina}} starting at [[level]] 16, who evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Moon Stone}}.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Nidorina}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].
 
It is related to the {{p|Nidoran♂}} line, and when bred with either one of them, it can produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s that contain either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂. However, it is the only one of its line that can breed as its evolutions are in the {{egg3|No Eggs Discovered}}.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nidoran♀ is a small, quadrupedal, {{wp|mammalian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has large, spiny ears, oversized front teeth, red eyes, and whiskers on each cheek. It is light blue with several darker blue spots. There are two white claws on each of its paws. Its back is covered with small toxic spines, and it has a small forehead horn.
Nidoran♀ is a small, {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, porcupine or rodent-based Pokémon with large ears, whiskers and front teeth. They are covered with small spines primarily on their back, which can release potent poisons if Nidoran♀ is threatened.


====Gender differences====
The poisons secreted by the spines and horn are extremely potent, and even a scratch from its horn or a drop of poison from its barbs can be deadly. However, this docile Pokémon only uses its poison when it feels threatened. Nidoran♀ is more sensitive to smell than {{p|Nidoran♂}}. It can use its whiskers to check the wind while searching for berries or avoiding predators. Nidoran♀ can use its incisor teeth to crush the berries it forages for. Nidoran♀ lives in open spaces, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}. Nidoran♀ is a female-only species.
Nidoran♀ is the female of the species, and is noted to be the first Pokémon to denote [[gender]] differences. In the later generations, however, Pokémon with genders are marked with a ♀ or ♂ symbol, rather than being actual different Pokémon.


Nidoran♀ have a smaller forehead horn than their male counterparts, {{P|Nidoran♂}}. They also have lesser spines, and are of a different color.
===Evolution===
Nidoran♀ evolves into {{p|Nidorina}}, which evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}}.


===Special abilities===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
Nidoran♀ usually attacks by {{m|Scratch|clawing}} and {{m|Bite|biting}} her foes. She also has the aforementioned Ability to {{a|Poison Point|secrete poison from her small spikes}}. Nidoran♀ can also wield a few {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} attacks.

===Behavior===

Nidoran♀ are known to be rather docile and reserved. However, angering one can result in being poisoned by one of her toxic spines. These are thought to have developed to counteract her small size.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Nidoran was the first Pokémon to feature gender, and even gender differences; however, their difference is much greater than later Pokémon.
[[File:Baby Nidoran Battle Pencils.jpg|200px|thumb|Baby Nidoran]]
* Despite the addition of genders in all Pokémon starting in [[Generation II]], the two variations of Nidoran remained separate species, rather than a singular species that splits down different evolution paths based on gender.
* Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂ were the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to feature any indication of [[gender]], before it was introduced as a mechanic and applied to other Pokémon in [[Generation II]].
** An {{pkmn|Egg}} laid by a Nidoran♀ does, however, have a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂.

An {{pkmn|Egg}} laid by a Nidoran♀ does, however, has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂, while an Egg laid by a Nidoran♂ with a {{p|Ditto}} has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♀.

* Due to the fact that its gender, ♀, is included in its name, checking Nidoran♀'s summary from [[Generation II]] onward will display as if it were genderless if it does not have a nickname. If its nickname is anything other than "Nidoran♀", its gender will appear as normal.
* Due to the fact that its gender, ♀, is included in its name, checking Nidoran♀'s summary from [[Generation II]] onward (except {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}) will display as if it were gender unknown if it does not have a nickname. If its nickname is anything other than "Nidoran♀", its gender will appear as normal.
* Every one of Nidoran♀'s Pokédex entries mentions its horns and their poisonous nature.
* Nidoran♀ is one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Nidoran♀ appears to be based on a {{wp|porcupine}} or possibly a {{wp|rabbit}}, {{wp|mouse}}, or even a {{wp|hamster}}.
Nidoran♀ appears to draw inspiration from various characteristics of {{wp|lagomorph}}s and {{wp|rodent}}s, with aspects of {{wp|venomous mammal}}s. It may also reference the mythical {{wp|Moon rabbit}} due to its rabbit like appearance and the fact that it reaches its final evolved form using a [[Moon Stone]]. Its differences from Nidoran♂ may be based on {{wp|sexual dimorphism}}, and the coloration of Nidoran and its evolutions may be a reference to the {{wp|gendered associations of pink and blue}} in previous centuries.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Nidoran♀ may be derived from ''needle''. It may also come from ''{{wp|cnidocyte}}'', a type of venomous cell responsible for the stings delivered by stinging animals, most notably jellyfish. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'' (two) or 二度 ''nido'' (two times/two degrees) referring to the two distinct evolutionary lines with similar names and traits. Also, the Japanese word ''ran'' is translated as ''orchid'' in English. {{wp|Orchid}}s are flowers that can be purple or blue, these being the same colors as the male and female evolutionary forms of Nidoran, respectively. The ''♀'' is an indication of its female gender.
Nidoran♀ may be derived from ''needle'', with ♀ as an indication of its female gender. It may also involve 二度 ''nido'' (twice).

Nidoran♀ (Japanese: ニドラン♀ Nidoran♀) is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Nidorina starting at level 16, which evolves into Nidoqueen when exposed to a Moon Stone.

It is related to the Nidoran♂ line, and when bred with either one of them, it can produce Eggs that contain either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂. However, it is the only one of its line that can breed as its evolutions are in the No Eggs Discovered Egg Group.

Biology

Nidoran♀ is a small, quadrupedal, mammalian Pokémon. It has large, spiny ears, oversized front teeth, red eyes, and whiskers on each cheek. It is light blue with several darker blue spots. There are two white claws on each of its paws. Its back is covered with small toxic spines, and it has a small forehead horn.

The poisons secreted by the spines and horn are extremely potent, and even a scratch from its horn or a drop of poison from its barbs can be deadly. However, this docile Pokémon only uses its poison when it feels threatened. Nidoran♀ is more sensitive to smell than Nidoran♂. It can use its whiskers to check the wind while searching for berries or avoiding predators. Nidoran♀ can use its incisor teeth to crush the berries it forages for. Nidoran♀ lives in open spaces, such as savannas and plains. Nidoran♀ is a female-only species.

Evolution

Nidoran♀ evolves into Nidorina, which evolves into Nidoqueen.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

    • Despite the addition of genders to other Pokémon, the two variations of Nidoran remain separate species, rather than a singular species that splits down different evolution paths based on gender. An Egg laid by a Nidoran♀ does, however, has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂, while an Egg laid by a Nidoran♂ with a Ditto has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♀.
  • Nidoran♀ is the only Pokémon that loses the ability to breed upon evolution.
  • Nidoran♀'s Shiny form is similar to Nidoran♂'s normal coloration, and vice versa for Nidoran♂.
  • Nidoran♀ shares its category name with Nidorina, Nidoran♂, Nidorino, Poipole, and Naganadel. They are all known as the Poison Pin Pokémon.
  • Due to the fact that its gender, ♀, is included in its name, checking Nidoran♀'s summary from Generation II onward (except Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl) will display as if it were gender unknown if it does not have a nickname. If its nickname is anything other than "Nidoran♀", its gender will appear as normal.

Origin

Nidoran♀ appears to draw inspiration from various characteristics of lagomorphs and rodents, with aspects of venomous mammals. It may also reference the mythical Moon rabbit due to its rabbit like appearance and the fact that it reaches its final evolved form using a Moon Stone. Its differences from Nidoran♂ may be based on sexual dimorphism, and the coloration of Nidoran and its evolutions may be a reference to the gendered associations of pink and blue in previous centuries.

Name origin

Nidoran♀ may be derived from needle, with ♀ as an indication of its female gender. It may also involve 二度 nido (twice).
